“NEW:🚨More than 199,000 federal workers have left their jobs or have been forced out by the Trump admin since Jan. 2025, per a new report.”

That’s nearly 10% of the entire federal civilian workforce.

“We’re seeing the arson of our government."

Veterans have been disproportionately hit by workforce cuts.

@KimPerales Consider this: Some of those ppl are still receiving unemployment, but not for long. The avg number of wks is 26. Some obtained other jobs, but it's unlikely their pay/benefits are comparable, which will put extra stress on personal budgets. Some accepted buyouts with a lump cash payout. Since they no longer have a job, that money will be used for everyday necessities. Many will become unable to pay rent, mortgages, car pmts, credit cards etc. A collapse is coming.
